Earth911 Podcast: URB-E’s Charles Jolley Wants to Electrify Local Delivery
SHARE

Charles Jolley, CEO of URB-E, had a vision of creating a new local delivery infrastructure that would revolutionize the way goods are transported in cities and neighborhoods. Unfortunately, URB-E has since shut down, but the story of their journey is an instructive one for aspiring founders with big ideas.

URB-E spent nine years working on building a local container delivery network that used e-bikes pulling collapsible containers to deliver goods efficiently and sustainably. The company aimed to enable a single delivery person to transport up to 800 pounds of cargo, effectively replacing the need for internal combustion delivery vans. Operating in New York and Los Angeles, URB-E riders earned competitive wages between $18 and $24 per hour, with additional benefits like paid time off. The company’s mission was clear – to be the global leader in foldable, emission-free transportation solutions.

The concept of last-mile deliveries, the final leg of the supply chain from distribution centers to retail locations or homes, has been a focal point of innovation for decades. From the humble beginnings of United Parcel Service using bikes in Seattle to the current reliance on fossil fuel-powered vehicles, the evolution of on-demand delivery has come a long way. However, the environmental impact of traditional delivery methods is a pressing concern, and the need for sustainable alternatives is more critical than ever.

In a post-carbon society, last-mile deliveries could be reimagined with a focus on logistics and electric bike technology. The future of local delivery may involve a return to pedal power, but with modern advancements in transportation and sustainability. The question remains – who will step up to fill the local delivery gap and pave the way for a greener, more efficient future?

As we reflect on the journey of URB-E and the innovative ideas they brought to the table, we are reminded of the importance of pushing the boundaries of traditional delivery systems and embracing sustainable solutions for a better tomorrow. While URB-E may no longer be operational, their legacy lives on as a testament to the power of innovation and the potential for change in the world of transportation and logistics.
